Mèsiyis

Oct 16, 2016

Mèsiyis is a bit beside himself after the hurricane. Quietly distressed, he starts talking about himself in third person. As an elderly man, there is no work for him to acquire the money it would take to buy some cement to add to his mix of limestone and rocks.

I know this kind spirited gentle soul. Help us help him get the materials and a skilled builder to build a small, but solid home for him.
